"Total Boomer Luxury Communism"

[Concerned American]

Hope you didn't squander those savings, they'll be coming in handy soon.

The fact that you posted this thread indicates to me that you are more worried than I am. Instead of whining about how much seniors have and what kind of housing they live in as well as how much you have to pay a struggling baby sitter who cares for your spawn, you should get out and earn your way like the people you are complaining about did.

There's nothing to worry about, the situation works itself out in the next 5 years or so.

Retirees (Boomers + Silent generation) are sitting on about $106 trillion in wealth (nearly 2/3 of all wealth in the United States). If they worked and lived responsibly, they'll be fine.

If they didn't, they can rely on additional supports like SNAP and Medicaid. Oh wait, we're slashing those too.



Discomfort with extracting ever-more wealth from struggling working families to further feather the nest of the richest generation in world history is . . . Marxism?

Yes, the boomers lived responsibly.

So you want to rob them of what they earned, and give it to irresponsible people reproducing like rabbits without any thought as to how they’ll support them.

You’re a true Marxist: punish the responsible, disciplined, hard-working Americans and reward the irresponsible Americans whose “job” is to get pregnant and get welfare.

Yes, the boomers lived responsibly.

Then they won't even notice the 24% reduction to their government checks. All the more reason that suggestions we ought to restore it via higher taxes on working people or more deficit spending are nuts.

Yup. We’ll require adults on welfare who just sit at home or hang out in bars to get a job in order to keep the freebies coming, and then we’ll have a whole lot more people paying into the system.

The problem isn’t that we are overpaying Grandma with her $1600 SS check (that she earned). The problem is that we have a massive welfare class who need to start contributing to society.

(And no,,,,producing more SNAP and Medicaid babies is not contributing. It’s TAKING.)

LOL, you're talking out both side of your face again. On the one hand you want to give a free ride to welfare recipients, free healthcare for all, forgive student loans while on the other side you're jealous that a babysitter gets paid for watching your kids and old folks are getting the money they paid into the system back. Do you really know what your point is or is it just gimme, gimme, gimme.

Yeah, they did that thirty years ago.

CLINTON SIGNS BILL CUTTING WELFARE; STATES IN NEW ROLE

In a sweeping reversal of Federal policy, President Clinton today ended six decades of guaranteed help to the nation's poorest children by signing into law a vast welfare overhaul requiring the 50 states to deal more directly with the social burdens and the budget expense of poverty.

''Today we are taking a historic chance to make welfare what it was meant to be: a second chance, not a way of life,'' Mr. Clinton declared in signing the measure, which will affect tens of millions of poor Americans, largely by mandating work requirements and imposing a five-year lifetime limit on welfare help to needy families.

You’re not comprehending the problem: you bleeding heart liberals want to keep giving all sorts of free money to young irresponsible adults who have kid after kid, with SNAP, and rent subsidies, and TANF, etc., etc., while you are threatening to take money away from elderly who have contributed to SS for 40 years.

Are you so deluded by leftism you can’t understand the difference between irresponsible 25 year olds with four kids who never had a job or paid taxes (or a husband), and elderly who have contributed to society and SS for their entire working lives?

More upside down values from today’s libtards.

Not just today's, Remember back to Obama's administration with Emannuel's 'Complete lives' book, and all the way back to the early progressives, and Bernard Shaw, talking about that there should be a board where you report every year to "justify your existence".... They don't give a shit for those of us that have worked all our lives, we can just go die.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Where the **** is my $2,500 savings, buttpipe?

He'll tell you that Obama kept things from going up by that much.

EVERY YEAR?

Don't think so.

They got what they wanted. Greenbeard and Co. don't care to defend the lies they told to get it passed.

Sorry left wing liars that they are.

 

[konradv]

I thought Obamacare was going to lower premiums?

Tax cuts to billionaires took care of that.

 

[HikerGuy83]

You Boomer Commies had your chance to fix it, keep your hands out of the pockets of the next generation.

Oh, they are going to feel it big time.

The deb is spiralling upwards.

I feel very badly for them.

Hahahahahaha......

I don't think Obama gave billionaires tax cuts.

Was never counting on seeing a dime anyway...So other than having over 15% of my earnings stolen and set aflame, I won't be harmed.

You'll still get 75% of it.

 

[Concerned American]

Death and taxes. As soon as people come to grips with those two realities and compensate for them, life gets much better.

 

[Oddball]

You'll still get 75% of it.

Got it on you?

 

[Lisa558]

You'll still get 75% of it.

So when exactly are the “compassionate” leftists going to take away money promised to Grandma to keep funding soda and junk food for welfare recipients?
